Am I Insane?

In 3 weeks I'm flying from Toronto to the Cayman Islands where I will most likely live out the rest of my life........now I have a problem...I've read the numerous posts about people taking their basses as carry-on or checking them with the "general population" of luggage and I thought of another idea. My problem is that I have a stop-over in Charlotte, NC, and even if they let me on the first flight, I may get problems prior to getting on the second flight. I was thinking of actually separating the neck and body and putting the two pieces in my main bag, insulated by layers and layers of clothing. The bass would be in this state for no longer than 6 hours and I'd re-attach the neck as soon as I get to my hotel. It's a MIA Fender J. Am I insane or would this work?

Livivng out the rest of your life in the Cayman Islands sounds like a dream!! Stingray City was one of the most unquine experiences Ive ever had-
thats where thousands of tame Stingrays ( the animal, not the bass) gather and you can swim with them and feed them, cool!! then there's rum cake... hmm..
anyways, i spent many years on the orad and always put my gig bag in the overhead- but last week , when i traveled for the first time in 2 years, i got a hassle-
i had to gate check the gig bag, which meant they take it the the entrance of the plane and hand it back to you when you exit the plane- i was lucky- you can try this, or take the neck off- at any rate, Im jealous! i miss the Caribbean badly sometimes...
